Fees

You may withdraw from a course or the University using My Southeast until the published Last Day to Drop a Class. After that date, you must contact the Office of the Registrar to complete the withdrawal
process. The effective date of the withdrawal/dropped class is the date the class(es)
are deleted from the student's computer record through your own actions via your online
account OR the date the withdrawal/cancellation is received by the Office of the Registrar.
If dropping a class online, click "finish" to complete the transaction and review
your schedule to make certain the class is dropped.

Four Week Summer Sessions/Winter Intersession

Note: If you add and drop different types of classes (i.e. sixteen week, eight week,
six week, four week, three week, or off-campus classes) in the same refund period,
you will be charged for the added class and credited the appropriate percentage for
the dropped class.

Federal regulations mandate the amount and order of Federal Title IV funds that must
be returned when a student completely withdraws from the University. Funds that may
be returned include Loans, Pell Grant, Perkins Loan or SEOG. In some cases, the mandated
return of Federal Title IV funds will leave an unpaid balance on the student's account
for which the student is responsible. Should you have any questions regarding the
return of Title IV funds from your account contact Student Financial Services at (573)
651-2253 or sfs@semo.edu.

For students withdrawing from all classes, Student Financial Services will refund
fees approximately three weeks after a withdrawal from all classes is processed. All
balances due to the University will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.

A Request for Refund of Credit Balance must be completed by the student fully withdrawing to initiate the processing of
a refund check. We strongly encourage you to sign up for "direct deposit". This timesaving
program electronically transfers funds from the University directly to your bank account.
It's free, easy and FAST! You may sign up for direct deposit by selecting Refund Direct
Deposit under the Account Summary option in your My Southeast student portal.

Appeals for refunds due to exceptional circumstances should be sent in writing to Student Financial Services. The appeal should include
the following:

Appeal Form for Tuition, General, and Course Fees of Dropped classes (available from
Student Financial Services);

Letter from the student requesting the refund and outlining the exceptional circumstance;

Girardeau, MO 63701.

Housing

The Contract for University Housing is a legally binding agreement for the full term
of the agreement. Any request to cancel the agreement must meet requirements established
by the University, and is subject to review and approval by the University.

halls

A Contract Cancellation Request form must be completed and submitted with all documentation
required to verify the stated reason for the request

Cancellations are generally only approved in situations where there is a change in
your status with the University (i.e. transfer, withdrawal, suspension, marriage,
graduation, etc.)

The contract will remain in force and you will continue to be financially obligated
for all room and board fees until the date the University agrees to cancel the contract
and you officially check out of housing. For additional information regarding cancelling
your housing contract; please visit the Office of Residence Life.

If you have paid your account in full and the Office of Residence Life subsequently
cancels your housing or meal contract, Student Financial Services will refund fees
approximately three weeks after the cancellation of the housing agreement. All balances
due to the University will be deducted from the amount to be refunded.

Appeals for refunds due to exceptional circumstances should be sent in writing to
the Office of Residence Life. This appeal must be initiated prior to the beginning
